Brian Nicholson

Although not a solo artist in his own right, Brian is internationally recognised as one of Shetland's finest ever guitarists, whether in a traditional music context or performing music of a more contemporary nature.

He has traded 'licks' with a number of very prominent guitarists, including Albert Lee who termed him "a world class guitarist", while he has supported the likes of Steve Earle and Rodney Crowell on their visits to Shetland, to name but two.

Brian is also Shetland's most prolific 'band member', currently an active member of groups such as Hom Bru, No Sweat and Sheila Henderson's band to name but three.
